Junior training at Tadcaster Hockey Club will start on Wednesday 17th September 2025 at Tadcaster Grammar School from 6 until 7pm, which covers players from ages 5 up to 16, split by ages for training purposes.

We shall be running junior training this season alongside the senior training bar a week off for half term at the end of October and the Christmas period. The cost will still be split into two with the first payment up to Christmas being charged at £30 per child with a £5 discount for siblings down to a minimum payment of £20, e.g. first child pays £30, second child pays £25, and any child thereafter pays £20.

If your child is interested in attending, please can you complete the Google Form here, or scan the QR picture. This form will be used for a register as well as for email distribution regarding future club events and for sending bank and payment details for the sessions once received.

Sticks can be provided, however we recommend hockey shinpads (football shinpads at a push, but hockey shinpads offer better protection for ankles), a gum shield, astroturf boots; note not studded football boots, as these are not allowed on the pitch, although trainers may be sufficient. Please ask for advice on purchases if you feel unsure before buying, better to ask and buy the correct thing than not and get the incorrect thing. Also please note, not everything has to be bought brand new as we can appreciate costs currently and the speed at which children can grow, sites like Vinted and Facebook Marketplace are useful for acceptable preloved kit.
Club kit is not required for training and unlikely to be in the future.
